The ceremony, which will take place on the Baker Lawn on the School’s campus in Boston, will also include a welcome from the co-presidents of the MBA Class of 2017, presentations of the Alumni Achievement Awards and the Faculty Teaching Awards, and a student address.

Bradley is a graduate of Swarthmore College and holds a JD from Georgetown University. He originally purchased The Atlantic in 1999 and built it into a portfolio of media platforms.

He and his wife, Katherine, also cofounded CityBridge, a nonprofit that brings best practices to Washington, DC public schools.

The HBS Class Day ceremony is planned and conducted by a committee of second-year MBA students. It is open to members of the graduating class and their guests as well as HBS alumni, faculty, and staff.
